"You will probably not be surprised that I see 'V: The Devil's Fire' as a very strong return and definitely as the best album in my long career. I will not apologize for stating the obvious, but whether you agree or not, there are many riffs in the classical BAPTISM style, as well as many new elements. I am very proud that this beast will now be unleashed and out in the stores on the 22nd of this month. Check it out!" "
